If you are building a new home, addition, or major renovation on the South Shore of Massachusetts, a HERS Rating can play a major role in energy code compliance, project planning, and rebate eligibility. Our team at HERS Rating Company provides energy modeling, blower door testing, duct leakage testing, and HERS verification services for builders, architects, developers, and homeowners across the South Shore.
We help projects navigate the Massachusetts Building Energy Code, the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code, and available incentive opportunities through Mass Save new home construction programs.
A HERS Rating, or Home Energy Rating System, is a nationally recognized method for measuring and verifying a home’s energy performance. This process is commonly used to support compliance, improve efficiency, and document the performance of a high-efficiency home.
The HERS Index was developed through RESNET and is widely used to measure the energy efficiency of residential buildings. A certified HERS rater reviews plans, creates an energy model, performs field inspections, and verifies performance testing.
Typical HERS rating services include:

Massachusetts uses an energy code framework that includes the base code and the Stretch Code, with official guidance and updates published by the state. Depending on the municipality and project type, compliance pathways and documentation requirements can vary.

Important performance factors often include:
